Rezensionen

"There is a plethora of research evidence here that provides great food for thought and could prove useful for a school or trust wishing to change things from the ground up, rather than tinkering around the edges."

- Terry Freedman, Schools Week

'This book should be recommended to all those responsible for teacher training. It offers a research-based frame of reference that allows for awareness of appropriateness of your own model or to initiate necessary changes.'

- Hanne Bestvater, Prof., M.Sc., MBA, Review taken from Beiträge zur Lehrerinnen- und Lehrerbildung
